Hi,
I am using latest qmail-ldap (dec 2004) and will not rallback to
Any previous release.

You're right, remember

"qmailGroup depends on qmailUser so we use the same 
 ~contol/ldapobjectclass in qmail-group" 

I propose and request an update where qmail-group would use
Different control file, for example:
 ~contol/ldapGROUPobjectclass

Ignore caps. Here I suppose this behaviour:

$ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-ldaplookup -m [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Would first try to lookup with filter based on
        ~contol/ldapobjectclass

i.e. looking for an user, and if this fails a new lookup will
be executed with Filter based on
        ~contol/ldapgroupobjectclass

i.e. looking for group. 
Or so, I don't know internal qmail logic.
